A: Hey! Thanks for your question appsumo132. Rize does work similarly to RescueTime in that in automatically tracks and categorizes the time you spend on different apps and websites. However, while RescueTime is primarily a passive time tracker, Rize dives deeper into analyzing your productivity and enables you to build better work habits.

Our timeline view depicts how your day unfolded and the exact time spans of the day you were focused, in meetings, taking breaks. You can drill down into specific blocks of focus time to see how much you were context switching and which apps or websites were most distracting. Rize will also help you build better work habits by notifying you when to take a break and when you've reached a certain number of hours worked.

Those are biggest differences at a high level but there are a few smaller ones too. Rize provides an improved dashboard over RescueTime as well as more granular categorization rules and customization.
